1!!A Game Of Gods
2* ArcFatigue: The Halo Reach challenge began [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=uob7p22fde8x8xjk3zrwotce&page=271#6769 December 6 2010 on page 271]] and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=uob7p22fde8x8xjk3zrwotce&page=439#comment-10975 ended February 4 2011 on page 439]], for a total runtime of two months and 168 pages. This was an unprecedented length for a single challenge and many players were not happy about it, especially since it coincided with an influx of new players whose characters had no choice but to sit around in the Common Room waiting for the challenge to finish. The challenge's generally bleak tone did not help.
3** InUniverse, Sub-Zero comes down with a case of this near the end of the game.
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
5** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ-b-ro5X38 This is Halloween]]", with Eddie Riggs playing backup guitar.
6** Much of the songs associated in [[VideoGame/EccoTheDolphin Endless Blue]] set the tone for the situations the group find themselves in.
7** Mostly anything put up on the thread. [[RunningTheAsylum Seeing as this is mostly written by people with good taste in music]]. Including "Always".
8* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The impromptu WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Christmas challenge, which suddenly occured ''during'' the [[VideoGame/HaloReach The Way The World Ends]] challenge.
9* DifficultySpike: The Halo Reach challenge. The {{Mooks}} are much tougher than the team's previous opponents, death is a constant threat, allied [=NPCs=] keep dying in droves, and the objective isn't made explicitly clear to the Champions.
10* DrinkingGame:
11** Take a shot every time a link to HandWave appears. (Or don't. Your liver will give out before you're even a quarter of the way through the thread.)
12** Take a shot every time Link and Icarax start arguing with each other. Take another shot if they ignore what's going on around them (particularly attempts to rein them in) for the sake of keeping the argument going.
13* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Nomads are this, with [[SailorEarth their creation being easy]], to being {{Original Character}}s and thus be characterized anyway the player wants without fear of derailment.
14** Their Darkhorsiness is recognized by a lot of people, as a good chunk of the Nomads made a HeelFaceTurn, and that there's plans that AGOG:I is going to be about the origins of the Nomads.
15* HilariousInHindsight:
16** During the Christmas challenge, a letter to Santa was found that accused him of illiteracy and demanded to know why he never brought the sender the vehicles and ordnance he asked for, replacing them with socks and other BoringButPractical items. Fast forward a few months, where [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes a boy and a tiger]] enter the Common Room.
17** Also, the MagicalGirl challenge. DarkerAndEdgier, a graphic death on the heroes' side, the heroes facing an Eldritch Abomination, and it started out on a light mood, then suddenly whiplashes into a dark one. [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica A few months later...]]
18*** Even more funnier is that [[spoiler: one of the Nomads sent them to that MagicalGirl challenge to break a loop in which the magical girls they possessed kept dying for exactly five loops, the same amount of loops Homura had to go through to bring an end to the cycle of death.]]
19*** Even more funnier when you consider that ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' was going to be made into a challenge for Season 2.
20** A bald, villainous old alien is sliced in half at the waist by someone wielding a lightsaber who previously looked up to him, and after staring in shock for a moment, his bisected body flops over onto the floor for an undignified death. Are we talking about Lux killing Dis Baba, or [[Film/TheLastJedi Kylo Ren killing Snoke]]?
21* {{Narm}}: During the final battle, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=uob7p22fde8x8xjk3zrwotce&page=1017#comment-25412 Mason delivers a defiant speech]] about how the Champions will never stop resisting Digamma no matter what he does to them. It's a pretty good speech, though the drama is undercut somewhat by Mason immediately stripping down to his skivvies and burning his uniform in a futile attempt to keep Digamma from [[MasterOfThreads using it against him]].
22* NightmareFuel: See [[NightmareFuel/ChroniclesOfTheGods here]].
23* ThatOneLevel: Most people seem to agree that the VideoGame/{{HaloReach}} challenge was the least liked.
